    The traditional german way of eating Stollen actually is as follows:
    -You get one from your grandma. (The only propper way of obtaining one.)
    -You eat way too mutch before and during the holydays.
    -You get sick of it and pack it away.
    -You find it again in early january.
    Now it has changed texture it's a bit more dense but also moister. Perfect for dipping into coffee

    What he made actually is Marzipanstollen, there are a whole lot of other varieties like "regular" Rosinenstollen (with raisins), Butterstollen (without raisins), Mohnstollen (with poppy seeds), etc.
    Stollen was prepared weeks in advance to mature until Christmas and to take baking out of the Holiday prep. The dough itself is actually not sweet at all and the Stollen was lovingly attended to over weeks, it was regularly brushed with melted butter and coated with powdered sugar over and over again. The powdered sugar forms a thick, brittle crust which needs to be really thick! (Stollen can be a bit dry and the sugar coating keeps in moisture and at least gives it some hint of sweetness).
    Happy Holidays from Germany!

    • @FrankBroniewski
      @FrankBroniewski 4 роки тому +57

      @@JimmiAlli No, the peel from oranges and lemons is more or less required if you want to follow the original recipe. But if you don't like that stuff - and there are plenty here in Germany who don't - take something else or leave it out completely. It won't be original Stollen anymore, but will taste great nontheless. I think your proposed ingredients would work well. If anything, I would leave out the marzipan, which is a deviation from the most well known high quality Stollen from Dresden.

      @@JimmiAlli I too think that your combination of ingredients sounds lovely. Vary the recipe to your heart's content! Anything else would be a waste if you don't enjoy eating it! I would actually leave in the marzipan, as I normally find Stollen can be too dry and marzipan gives some moisture as well as textural variety. You could also add the marzipan to the dough in small bits. But I would definitely not skimp on brushing the Stollen again and again with butter and adding another layer of powdered sugar, that is the best part. :-)

      It really, reaaallly depends. I'm from Cologne and i've been eating Stollen every Christmas for pretty much my whole life and theres always been - to my delight- marzipan in it lol. And they're not called Marzipanstollen, at least almost never. They just go by Stollen, even at the bakery. Also no one puts Citronat in it because most ppl frankly find it gross. So, while you're not wrong, it might be a regional thing, and i'd just suggest looking at the ingredients or purposely buying one with marzipan in it, if that's what one prefers. :)

    German here; Actually, you try to make (or buy) Stollen one month before you are going to eat it. Therefore the flavors can mature and fully unfold.
    The room should be around 5-10 °C and the Stollen should be wrapped so that its in an airtight environment.
    To make it better, you can brush it multiple times with butter and re-do the sugar coating which will fully develop over the month

      Yeah, I'm german, but I literally don't know any person who makes their Marzipan and the Orangeat and Citronat (the candied fruit) themselves. Without making those, this is a very easy recipe. It's basically just boozing the raisins + orangeat and citronat and then rolling everything out and baking it. So the Stollen I usually make is a lot simpler.

    Okay Guys, here is the real deal: This thing doesn't really taste that great if you eat it only a couple of hours after baking. You should butter and powder sugaring it at least thrice after the sugar crust dried. This allone takes some days. Then wrap it in aluminium foil and put it in a cool dark place and let it sit for four to six WEEKS. Better prepare that thing in middle of november. Don't panic: the thick layer of suger and the aluminium foil will keep it from getting stale or molding. After all this time that gift by the gods has ripened and tastes like all you ever wanted for Christmas. I know it takes some patience and the courage to let bakery being untouched for weeks, but every real German housewife will tell you to do it that way, and it's absolutely worth it.
    Optionally you make a Stollen without the marzipan, if thats more to your taste.

    • @TheNerdyOrganist
      @TheNerdyOrganist 4 роки тому +2

      As long as it is sealed and no dust or anything else comes in contact with it, it should be fine. The specific recipes do vary quite a bit, so better do some research before baking.

      apparently they will also call everything bread. Growing up in germany your parents will tell you "That's not actual bread, we said bread, didn't we?" when you tell them you want american style toast. Calling Stollen Bread is just completley foreign to me.
